What is The Guitar Maker's Workshop about?

<p>A step-by-step introductory guide to making a classical guitar, now in a revised edition, featuring 160 photos and drawings.</p> <h3>Library Journal</h3> <p>Intended as a beginner's guide for experienced woodworkers interested in making a guitar, this book assumes a fairly complete knowledge of woodworking tools and techniques and also an intermediate level of skill in finishing and detail work. Long-time luthier Middleton uses the old European approach to making a stringed instrument, including carving, gluing, bracing, and finishing, which he defends as desirable in handmade instruments,.
